MO790 Light Hiking Boot - Men's

When you're not certain if the day will be spent kicking along a leaf-littered trail or meandering through crumbling ruins of ancient civilizations on gravel-lined paths, the New Balance Men's MO790 Light Hiking Boot will keep your foot happy and your luggage light. This all-purpose piece of robust footwear gives you the option to hit the trails for a full day of hiking, cram in a quick off-road run, or take in the sights on a walking tour when the skies are gray and spitty. With all of the extra room in your suitcase, you'll be able to load up on trinkets and T-shirts sure to delight (or embarrass) your family.
A mix of mesh and synthetic materials give the upper some flexibility without turning it into a complete pushover when faced with intense street debris. Water resistant and breathable, this versatile shoe prevents both sweat and drizzles from turning your foot into a dank and soggy appendage. Because the MO790 hits above your ankle, you should be fairly stable over uncertain ground when you're shouldering a fully loaded daypack.
Revlite foam fills out the midsole so every step is sweet and light. Abzorb technology offers even more cushioning and bit of rebound for extra bounce along the way. The 10mm heel-forefoot drop provides ample cushion for heel strikers, but isn't quite as high as a traditional running shoe, which is good if you're making the transition towards a more level playing field for your feet. Ndurance rubber soles are lugged for traction over tricky terrain, be it a moderately technical trail or rain-slicked cobblestone streets.
